    As the Steam Deck slowly marches toward its fifth birthday next February, owners are likely eager for a way to extend its life rather than investing in expensive high-end competition.

    With the AI bubble and the cost increases that come with it game developers are coming back around to the Steam Deck’s specs.

      That’s probably the only good part of the AI bubble. Now they have to optimize and think about doing more with the same hardware.

      Honestly, the Steamdeck has a really good mix of components to ensure gaming for a decent while.

      My Steamdeck now costs more than what i paid for it. The last time something like that happened was with the GPU shortages, I had just bought the RTX 3070 and then prices skyrocketed.
